Built in the 19th century by a prominent Kingston business family, later home to the artists and dreamers who gave Midtown its creative spark, this Victorian has always sheltered interesting people. Now it's looking for its next caretakers. Like Kingston, its story isn't finished yet. Tucked into the budding Midtown Arts District on tree-lined Downs Street, Skellylope Manor pairs Victorian gravitas with genuine pizzazz. Mature trees and perennial gardens wrap the home in its own quiet oasis -- a rare pocket of solitude two minutes from everything. Climb the short flight to the majestic covered porch and step inside to a grand living room, where original pocket doors let you open the space wide for a party or close it off for a quiet night in. Oversized windows flood every room with l ight. A separate dining room connects to an updated, entertaining-ready kitchen -- a genuine cook's haven. Upstairs, a dramatic Victorian stairwell leads to a wide corridor and three generous bedrooms, plus a full bath with a clawfoot tub for well-earned end-of-day soaking. Climb once more and the attic opens into a vaulted, unfinished expanse with serious storage -- or serious potential, if you've got a creative streak of your own. Outside, a separate garage fits two cars, with a second deeded right-of-way driveway around the corner and even more storage overhead. Bring the boat, the kayaks, the pottery wheel -- there's room. All told, it's a rare mix of original character and easy, laid-back living -- steps from Boices Ice Cream, Midtown's galleries, restaurants, and shops. Skellylope Manor has kept Kingston's stories for over a century. Yours could be next.
